Evesham Star was gaining her first victory on her 29th start at Wexford where she stayed on strongly so a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. LA FEMME BLANCHE also arrives in winning form having gained her first success when beating the in-form Go Paddy Go at Limerick and a similar effort will see her difficult to beat so she gets the nod. Milestone Miss wasn't far behind in that latter event and she's respected with her weight advantage but Hidden Horizons is likely to need further. Emily Gray makes her handicap debut after landing a Limerick maiden where she may have been fortunate and though World Citizen is in good heart she's 15lb higher than her victory at Ballinrobe in September. Good As Gold is still a maiden but keeps climbing the weights while All The Way Home has an absence to overcome.
